Focus more on environmental protection - President Uhuru Kenyatta told.

President Uhuru Kenyatta was asked to consider reintroducing the 4K clubs in our schools as a way of building a environmental care culture in our society as early as lower primary. This came as Embu Miss Environment Champion Ms Suzie Mwende led the community in a tree planting exercise at the University of Embu compound.

Mwende said the Moi era slogan of "Cut one, plant two" played greatest role in protecting our environment and improving the forest cover. "We can review the Moi slogan and reintroduce the environmental clubs such as 4K clubs in our schools and colleges". Mwende added.

"I have always had a passion in environmental conservation. After clinching the coveted crown, Miss Environment Kenya Embu County in 2017, I got a platform to explore on tree planting.
My first tree planting in 2017 was at Wanjee Nature Park in Mukurwe-ini, Nyeri County".

My organization

"Same year I launched my environmental conservation organization called Green Economy Initiatives which started planting more trees in a private farm in Mbeere South, Embu County".

20,000 - Number of trees planted

"I have previously planted more than 20,000 trees through GEI and in collaboration with pupils and other environmental organisations.
My Target areas are schools and private farms. This is because we don't just plant trees and leave them to grow but we plant and nurture them".

The event was joined by the University of Embu students, officers from Mugoya regional police headquarters, community and members of press.

"In institutions we are sure that 99% of tree seedlings will grow. We also want the young generation to grow being environmental conscious". Ms Mwende added when speaking to our correspondent at the University of Embu.

"This year we are guided by the World Environment Day theme #BeatAirPollution and Forest Day theme #TreesandEducation".

Target

"We are targeting to plant at least 50,000 tree seedlings by the end of this year.
There are more tree planting projects already planned for the months of May, June and July and I call on communities to join and support me in making the world best place for mankind".

Nakuru Town East MP David Gikaria beaten like a dog by police

They are no longer honorables? Kenya is headed to be a police republic which is a wrong direction, elected leaders are never accorded the honorable treatment by the law eenforcers. The recent victim of police brutality, harassment and torture i is Nakuru Town East Mp David Gikaria who was beaten by the police officers to extents that he can not walk. He was dragged and thrown into the police vehicle like a Dog!. What happened to the police reforms, decorum and professionalism?. Insufficient Training? Under the new structure, the OCS is in charge of the police station and its posts and patrol bases. Dr Matiang'i said police officers will be trained afresh to address the new expectations. Only officers who were among the last two cohorts to graduate from the police training colleges will be spared of the refresher trainings, because they are being trained under the new police curriculum. With the new changes, the government says it will have a unified, eff

She will remain Prime Minister until a new leader is chosen by her party , in a contest which will begin the following week and conclude some time in the summer. She will have served as British Prime Minister for three years. May was forced out by her own cabinet and wider party, who lost faith in her ability to deliver Brexit. The final straw came Wednesday, when May’s fourth attempt to put her Brexit deal to a vote was scuppered by her closest allies, who said they could not support her latest compromise that included a concession to let lawmakers vote on whether to hold a second Brexit referendum. “It is in the best interests of the country for a new Prime Minister to lead,” May told cameras. “It is and will always remain a ma
